Stella Lyrics

Young man with a tear in his eye
A beginner to the broken heart
He said "Mama, no matter what glue I use, my world just falls apart"
So he packed his bags and cash
And hitchhiked up 95
And it was 2 AM
The boy's eyes were red
But he could see that skyline

Stella's going up to New York City and
I'm getting the pieces stuck in my heart
She said that she don't need me this time
This time I'm fallin'

Stella's leaving me for someday
She's got it all worked out
It ain't cool where the sun don't shine at all
There's no rest for the wicked child

And Stella hadn't slept in days
Her mind was haze of New York City, sunshine, JD, and cocaine
She was just a crazy child born
Another sign of a revolution
Sifting through the sin for who knows who
She was like "Let's go downtown tonight
I need voodoo so I don't mind dying,
Please don't let me fall asleep alone."

Stella's goin' up to New York City and
I'm getting the pieces stuck in my heart
She said that she don't need me this time
This time I'm fallin'
Stella's leaving me for someday
She got it all worked out
It ain't cool where the sun don't shine at all
Stella's going up to New York City and

I'm getting the pieces stuck in my heart
She said that she don't need me this time
This time I'll be fallin'
Stella's leaving me for someday

She's got it all worked out and
It ain't cool where the sun don't shine at all
Stella just won't slow down
Stella just won't slow down

Slow down
Slow down
